Can't open re-installed Firefox - get this message: Error: platform version5.0 is not compatible with minVersion = 6.0 maxVersion = 6.0
Had to uninstall Firefox as it stopped working. The went to website and downloaded Firefox once more. Pressed the .exe and the file went through the installation okay, but when I tried to open Firefox I get:
Error: platform version5.0 is not compatible with
minVersion > = 6.0
maxVersion < = 6.0
The only option i have is to press OK and nothing else happens.
Can you offer any help - it is beyond me and I am missing Firfox and have lost all my bookmarks.
The updater wasn't able to update all the files and some were left as older versions.<br />

Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates -
Firefox worked and then when I shut down and restarted I suddenly started getting this message. What can I do?
Such an error is always caused by inconsistent files in the Firefox program folder (application.ini and/or platform.ini and possibly others) and your only option is to reinstall that version of Firefox, either via the software repositories or the Mozilla server.<br />
Be sure to delete all files in that folder before copying the files from that tar.bz2 archive.<

As mentioned above, the users have taken to printing using windows print and fax viewer.
I've done a clean install of elements 13 and restarted the print spooler. no joy

If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.<br />
Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.
